Fishing

What do you do on a beautiful summer day in July?  Go fishing (after the gym of course)!  We went out fishing in Atlantic Highlands today in the Sandy Hook & Lower NY Bay.  What a great day for fishing.  Check out what we caught!


This was just 1" short of being a keeper!  Damn!  I caught 5 fish & a sea robin.  I don't care about keepers though, as I don't like to eat fish.  All fish tastes like fish sticks to me anyway.  I just like to feel the nibble on my hook.  My fish sandwich bait always works too.  But wait, what's this?


Oh just the bumper to a turquoise Ford Taurus.  Hey, we were fishing in NJ, & dangerously close to Staten Island.  But, here's some hope for the environment.......lots of cranes, hanging out on this channel marker.


Pretty cool to see that we have wildlife in New Jersey!  & wait, look over towards NYC!
A fun cruise ship!



Oh & here's my other big catch, a mussel. 


And speaking of mussels (muscles), it's time to get back to the grind.  Everyone on the boat saw my jelly belly today & although I didn't look like a huge whale, it's time to get crackin!  Tomorrow I'm back to try for my 5-6 mile run in Spring Lake.  Hope you loved my fishing trip picks.  Only in NJ can you see the sights we saw today!


THE END.
